Bottom line, sounds simple, but it is what works, calories expended greater than calorie intake on a consistent basis. -------------- Great people never want it easier, they just want to be better!

Although I know all are saying is that you need to reduce your caloric intake (which is also correct), the ab workout in here will help you tremendously. I have not had any children, but I have somehow developed this "gut" underneat my belly button. It is slowly but surely minimizing by following the ab workout in here. Also, start reading your labels... after awhile, I inadvertantly realized that I shouldn't eat this, shouldn't eat that and so I quite eating some things! Every little motivation helps.
